3.3 - The fucking balls on this guy to bitch to his record label about not making this a double album! I mean, this record is not terrible but, as is, certainly its gravest sin is that it’s at least 15 minutes too long. At least! Particularly, the almost 10 minute whine-fest “Nobody Girl” needs to be drowned in a bathtub. And “Sylvia Plath” isn’t much better. At best, he cuts a convincing persona as Dollar Tree Melloncamp, perhaps mixed with a dash of Wilco. I don’t know, Ryan Adams and Robert Dimery both need a reality check
